AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE WITH EMPAGLIFLOZIN: UNIDENTIFIED BODY ODOR.
Article in Acta endocrinologica (Bucharest, Romania : 2005). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Context: Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-I) are a new class of oral antidiabetic drugs. Objective: Side effects of drugs are frequently encountered with increasing use in clinical practice. Design/Subjects and Methods: We present a case with an unidentified body odor that has not been described yet in the literature as an adverse effect of SGLT2-I. Results: A 49-year-old female patient with Type 2 DM was applied to our clinic for routine control. She had been receiving sitagliptin/metformin 50/1000 mg b.i.d. Her fasting plasma glucose was 160 mg/dL and HbA1c was 8%. Empagliflozin 10 mg/day was added to therapy. The patient noticed that two weeks after starting empagliflozin treatment, she began to smell herself and felt a bad/foul odor was released from her body. The patient associated these complaints with the new drug(empagliflozin) stopped two weeks ago. She also stated that all these complaints had disappeared one week after stopping the medication and there were no complaints at the moment. Conclusions: Here we report an unidentified body odor as a potential empagliflozin-associated adverse event. There was a close temporal relationship between empagliflozin intake and the development and the occurrence of the described odor.
